Build Level 3
Tamper-evident proof of how and from what sources this image was built. Build Level 3 is the highest the SLSA build track defines.
CycloneDX SBOM + SPDX SBOM
A software bill of materials in both CycloneDX and SPDX formats so it drops straight into your existing tooling. Audit exactly what you're shipping.
A Vulnerability Exploitability exchange document, Docker's assessment of which CVEs actually affect this image and which don't apply, so you can focus on real risk instead of chasing false positives.
Available
A link to everything used to build the image, package source code, Git repos, and build files, so you can audit or reproduce the build and stay compliant with open source licenses.
Every known vulnerability in this image, shown in full rather than hidden. The VEX data flags which ones actually apply, so you can tell real exposure from noise before you ship.
Exactly what changed in this build, down to the package bumps and fixes behind the version you're pulling.
Verifies no keys, tokens, or credentials were accidentally baked into the image.
The image layers were scanned for known malware signatures before publishing.
About AWS Node Termination Handler
AWS Node Termination Handler gracefully handles EC2 instance lifecycle events within Kubernetes clusters. It monitors for termination signals — including Spot Instance interruptions, scheduled maintenance windows, ASG scale-in events, and EC2 instance rebalance recommendations — and cordons and drains the affected node before the instance is terminated, ensuring that running workloads are safely evicted and rescheduled.
It operates in two modes: IMDS Processor, which runs as a DaemonSet and polls the EC2 instance metadata service directly on each node, and Queue Processor, which runs as a Deployment and consumes termination events from an SQS queue populated by Amazon EventBridge.
For more details, see the AWS Node Termination Handler GitHub repository.
